Last year, we parted ways with our bass player and keyboard player, our management, and our label, Capitol Records. Leading up to this, we managed to get ourselves into well over $100,000 [...]
The Starting Line was one of those pop-punk bands that I just never could really get into. Even though "Best of Me" was probably one of the most sugar-coated (and catchy at that) songs released in my very young adulthood, the single never caught on and for that reason I didn't pay much attention to any of the band's subsequent work.

Drawing inspiration from artists [...]
